“…The inverse-U shaped relationship between age and paper publications also confirmed the econometric results of the previous research (i.e. Kyvik and Olsen, 2008;Rauber and Ursprung, 2007;Goodwin and Sauer, 2001;Jang, 2010). We have found that the disciplines and the country trained in are strong predictors for knowledge-transfer activities.…”

The relationship between geographical proximity and academics' formal and informal knowledge-transfer activities in the network is analyzed with a mixed research method. With social network analysis as a basis, we have explored the networks between academics and firms in the 16 regions of South Korea. The result shows Seoul and Gyunggi are identified as central nodes, meaning that the academics in other regions tend to collaborate with firms in these regions. An econometric analysis is performed to confirm the localization of knowledge-transfer activities. The intensity of formal channels measured by the number of academic papers is negatively, but significantly associated with the geographical proximity. However, we have not found any significant relationship between the formality of the channels and geographical proximity. Possibly, the regional innovation systems in South Korea are neither big enough nor strong enough to show a localization effect.

“…Therefore, some authors focus on the question if tenure negatively influences the publication output. As a main result of this literature publication decreases after tenure but the decline in productivity sets in very slowly (Goodwin and Sauer 1995;Hutchinson and Zivney 1995). Particularly the top researches show little tendency for a decline in publication productivity (Goodwin and Sauer 1995).…”

“…Once one's attention is allocated to other duties for a sustained period of time, the individual's stock of research capital has been substantially depreciated. The previous level of productivity is never recovered (Goodwin and Sauer, 1995).…”

“…Some authors (for example Diamond, 1984, Goodwin and Sauer 1995, Dalen, 1997a state that the decline in productivity is not caused by the age itself, but rather by the phase of scientist's academic career. There are several events, which usually happen in Figure 1 Graphical illustration of the Beard's Law older age.…”
